We can practice diligence by working persistently on things that are more valuable to ourselves and to our society than washing dishes, cleaning floors, making shopping lists, going to libraries for basic research, and spending the time in our self-driving cars reading, or thinking about things other driving. We can practice patience by using all of the extra time we now have to not rush our actual jobs, to spend time thinking and researching and absorbing new thoughts and trying to create new strategies and techniques and sharing them with the World after plenty of iterations of deliberation, practice and adaptation. We can practice humility by seeing the reality of who we really are through the data we generate, and stop believing the lies we tell ourselves. Work out, do you? Fitbit says your heart rate only went above 90bpm once in the last month. Don't snack, do you? MFP says you're averaging 600kCals/day in vending machine treats. Making too much money for low effort work? How come you have thousands in debt? Why is 75% of that debt accrued on eating out and fast food according to the app the card company gave you? Quality of life is measurably improved by improvements in technology. If people decide to abuse it to use the extra capabilities it provides to do inane, stupid, irrational and vain activities, is it the fault of the technology? Really?
